Only a handful of establishments in Saigon are truly “gay places” in the internationally-recognized sense. Instead, gays tend to gather together in “mixed” establishments with their own group of personal friends.

Serving up good seafood hotpot at a local neighbor eatery
Mixed-sex couples enjoy their hot pot dinner meal. Apparently-lesbian couples, arm-in-arm, laugh with friends over their drinks. Transgender workers swish (literally) across the floor (hips first), taking orders, delivering food, cleaning tables, & exchanging coy smiles with customers. A table of construction workers (gay? who knows?) laugh together with their Trans waitresses. The server, with dangling earrings, sings confidently as he/she refills the trà đá (ice tea) glasses. Very fun! (read more …)

Hours of operation are mildly unpredictable, with closures at holidays, lunch hours và after 7 pm. Bring your own bathing suit, towel, và bag for checking garments and valuables.
